and it's called bitter cos it tastes, um... bitter..
but much nicer than lager.
: In my local bars it comes in its own system, like Guinness does...but it has that little guy with the hat!! I was only comparing it to Guinness because it comes in its own system, and is foamy,not bubbly..... is a Bitter a type of beer? like a stout, or ale....?
: : : different parts of the country have different distribtion....Michelobe has a Hefen..wow....I'll have to check that out.......
: : and a rubbish one at that - you'll be telling us you drink caffreys next.
: : never trust bitter that has bubbles. it's not right. supposed to come out warm and with twigs in for that authentic british taste.

: : : other than that I've been about Stella Artois and Spatan....Spatan kicks ass, and after that I'm a huge fan of Tetley's (which is like a blonde guinness, it comes out foamy and thru a special system like Guinness)
:
: : : : : Pyramid, or UFO.....but I am a big fan of Hoegarden and Franzishaner (but I never see the second one)....in bars I go for Hoegarden if they have it....If I buy a six pack its UFO and I get a lemon......
: : : :
: : : : : : : lately I've been all about Hefenweisen and Black and Tans
: : : : : : Which Hefenweisen's are you drinking?
: : : :
: : : : Haufbraugh, which is tough to find (and I think I spelled it wrong)
: : : : Hacker-Psychor, but I don't like it very much.
: : : : Michelob makes a version that is hella cheap, but has a decent taste.
